Anthony Ballard Jr. He has several offers. Jacques Norman the "other" back ain't to shabby either. How did the scrimmage go tonight??

I saw ballard at a track meet back in the spring and he certainly looks the part!

I think having a kid like Norman behind him is great for the upperclassman because it makes him work a little harder to earn those carries.

They both had over 1300yds last year and about 15tds each. They are two different types of runners. Ballard will run you over and Norman is a speedster. Very effective 1 2 punch.

Both teams looked pretty similar to each other. Both offenses looked really good but still have a few things to clean up. Both defenses need some work but also had a few good things happen. But Ballard is a MAN!!! Lol

What a start for Liberty and Coach Taylor. How do you get beat 24-0 in a jamboree vs USJ 

USJ has more talent and is better coached.

Liberty has speed but the blocking and execution aren't there. They don't have the D1 athletes this year to bail them out after mistakes and turnovers.

I doubt that USJ has more talent...better football players maybe, but the athletes at Liberty didn't all evaporate last season.

   USJ's players will be where they're supposed to be, and be doing what they're supposed to be doing as well as their ability allows. That wins a lot of football games. If USJ had an upper echelon back to carry the ball 15-20 times a game they would really shock some people this season, but will be a tough game for anyone in their division (which is strong).

   Liberty has athletes...whether one or two emerge as "special" is yet to be seen, but that kind of speed can't be coached. Coaching is a big question mark. I'm not going to be negative about him until he has had a chance to prove himself, but I believe the talent level is there for the Crusaders to be competitive within two seasons if Taylor is the answer.

tradertwo: We have a different definition of talent, but I mostly agree.

Will say this -- USJ looked bigger, though that could just be the all-white uniforms. USJ's skill players also turned the corner on Liberty several times. 100% agree with them being one weapon away. There is an underclassman with that kind of talent on the roster, but he might still be too young for the big show. USJ's new division is loaded. 

Re: Liberty -- they had a bad night, but I thought they were probably the second best team at the jamboree (maybe Dyer Co..). Liberty's defense will be stout. If they can find something on O, I expect them to compete for their region championship.

No one in West TN has more athletes or team speed than Liberty...not even Haywood Co

 

however, I cannot argue anything else at this time...a lot of work needs to be done between the lines and on the drawing board

ask SGC and Trezevant what they got in the spring...then watch their seasons unfold

 

Good Luck to everyone Friday night and a little more to my CoachT rival posters

      Asking for prayers?

      By Nontypical · Posted

      Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned.

      West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome.

      Where does DCA go?

      By BingoLong · Posted

      I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.

      I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
